Message from Bob Kerslake to Council Staff:

"Sheffield will be hosting a high profile visit of VIP's on 5th July 2004, which will be very positive for the whole City. The visit will give a view of Sheffield to representatives of other European Cities and is likely to attract significant media coverage.

The visit will be centered in and around the Town Hall, but may include other venues depending upon the precise time available.

As I'm sure you will recognise a visit of this scale will inevitably impact on normal operations and services. In particular this will affect the Town Hall which will be closed to public business until approx. 3.00 pm on 5th July 2004. Obviously the Town Hall building will have to remain 'operational' throughout the day but as service provision will be affected, outlined below are the main areas affected, which I would ask all managers and staff to be aware of and make alternative arrangements where appropriate.

Only Council Staff and Elected Members will be allowed into the Town Hall building on 5th July. No public access will be available for enquiries or meetings.

Access into and out of the Town Hall between 10.00 am and 3.00 pm will be via the Porters Lodge entrance off Norfolk Street. The main entrance on Pinstone Street will not be available through these times, except in emergency evacuation situations.

All staff and elected members should wear ID badges or show their passes to get into the town Hall."

Wonder who it is.....sounds important!

I hope, I hope, I hope, it is Mike Storey, Lib Dem Leader of Liverpool City Council.

And I hope Cllr Storey tells those cloth-eared windbags running Sheffield City Council how to do their job properly!

Think BobbyK has bigged this one up too much! (I'm down wid da kidz)
I know who it is -and, no, I can't say-, but it's really not *that* exciting. His circular piqued my interest too, but now has waned. Oh well.

Not that exciting but positive for the city none the less.

Further to the thread that claimed that something big was about to happen on the 5th July in Sheffield as the town hall was being made off limits etc. I have heard that Blunkett will be holding a security summit there with other leaders etc. Anyone heard anything about this?

It's true. That's why large bits of Sheffield town centre will be shut off on Monday
